Porsche's POV

I stood and watched the tense atmosphere between Kinn and Khun Noo, the two brothers. Today was the agreed-upon day that if Pete hadn't returned, Kinn would call Pete's grandmother. Khun Noo had insisted on being present, fearing that Kinn might say something that would cause misunderstandings or alarm Pete's grandmother.

It seemed clear that Khun Noo really cared about Pete. It made sense, given how Pete always indulged him, always treating him like a prince.

In the room were Kinn, Khun Noo, me, Arm, and Pol, all worried about Pete. We had gathered in Kinn's office, waiting for him to dial and put the call on speaker.

"Hello, is this Grandma Jui? This is Kinn."

"Hey, it's khun Kinn calling! Come here and sit down. Yes, this is Grandma Jui."

"Are you and Grandpa doing well?"

"We're good, we're good. But wait, you're not calling to tell me something happened to Pete, are you?" When everyone heard this, we looked at each other.

So, Pete hadn't gone home...

"He's fine, Grandma. This is Tankhun speaking. Pete went to work and was worried about you and Grandpa, so he asked me to call."

"Oh dear, Pete! Why is he bothering his boss like this? That child!"

"I volunteered. I haven't gone home with Pete for the past couple of years, so I wanted to call myself. Hearing you sound so strong makes me happy."

Kinn and I were extremely stressed.

After a while, Khun Noo hung up and turned back to us.

"What the hell is this?"

"So, Pete lied to you about having business at home?"

"But why would Pete lie to me? Have I ever denied him anything he wanted to do?"

"Unless he was ordered to lie," I suggested.

"Pa doesn't..." Kinn didn't finish his sentence before Khun Noo completed the call and put it on speaker.

"Kim, where are you?"

"What's up?"

"Did you secretly assign Pete without telling me?"

"..."

"Answer me! Huh!"

"I'll be home soon." Then the call ended.

"Well, that means yes, right? He's my bodyguard! How could he do this?" I saw Tan Khun's face filled with anger, but his eyes looked like he was about to cry.

Wow, this is way beyond what I expected.

"He has his own bodyguards. Why does he have to use my Pete? He definitely made him lie to me."

"Khun Noo, calm down. Let's wait for Kim."

"Calm down! He's been gone for over three weeks now and..." TanKhun started crying. Honestly, I understand the situation. Being a bodyguard for the family, disappearing for more than two days usually means they're presumed dead. Now it's almost a month. It's not surprising that Khun is angry and upset with that jerk Kim.

"Young Master, wait for Kim first. Pete might have been sent on a long mission. Please, Young Master, hold on." I walked over to console Khun. If it were any other situation, Pete would probably comfort him like this if he saw Khun Noo crying.
